Selim mountain pass

Selim mountain pass crosses the western part of the Vardenis mountain range at 2,410 meters, in Gegharkunik region. It connects the basin around Lake Sevan, via the Arpa river gorge, with the Vayk area, and the Martuni-Yeghegnadzor road runs over it.

At the pass stands the Orbelyan caravanserai (a stone travelers' inn built by the Orbelyan noble family). No dates or construction details survive in the record beyond its presence here.

The pass lies in Gegharkunik region, roughly 66 km east-southeast of Yerevan in a straight line, on the road linking Martuni and Yeghegnadzor.

At 2,410 meters, conditions at the pass can turn harsh in winter, though no specific closure dates are recorded.
